I'd say that the final statement about diversity is not so much original research as an educated speculation highlighting the connection and equivalence of this (vibriocins, limited diversity characterized) with another topic (colicins, relatively well studied, vast diversity known). It doesn't constitute original research - more research would be needed to conclusively demonstrate such an equivalence, and it would be quite interesting in fact because it would take observations from mostly gut organisms who occasionally encounter water to mostly water organisms who occasionally encounter guts, and would start to draw parallels between organisms in mostly fluid to mostly particle (more structured) habitats. Of course, anyone doing such research (and I know of nobody, at the moment) would be foolish to publish first in wikipedia. So, the speculation is not research, but a hint of a connection between the topics.Bckirkup (talk) 17:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
